for Liu the landlord. Making a living is no longer an issue, so who would want to be exploited by Liu the landlordSeeing Li Yuyao's face brightening, Yang Lin shook his head."It's too early to be hap...When Ziyi and Qingyi followed Li Yunyao back to the Yang family, they were shocked once again by the environment where His Majesty now resided.

In the cramped room, thirteen people were huddled together, even the Emperor was sleeping on the floor with everyone else!

Let me introduce you, this is Ziyi, and this is Qingyi. They used to be my maidservants. After we left home, we got separated, and it took them a long time to find their way here.

"The purple-clad woman is skilled in martial arts, while the green-clad woman excels at acupuncture. Husband, from now on, let them follow you. With them by your side, your safety will be ensured."

Li Yuyao said to Yang Lin.

And Yang Lin shook his head like a tambourine.

"Please, please, please, protect me Don't cut off my fingers, one by one, and I'll be eternally grateful!"

"This slave knows I was wrong, please punish me, master!"

Zi Yi and Qing Yi immediately knelt before Yang Lin.

"Oh oh oh, come on up, I was just kidding."

You don't need to follow me, just stay with your mistress and protect her...them. That's enough for me.

It was the first time in his life that Yang Lin had been kidnapped and threatened with having his finger cut off. It's impossible to say he wasn't angry, but now that the truth was out and he had two such powerful figures by his side, Yang Lin naturally wouldn't let this go unpunished.

Li Yuyao passed the package to Yang Lin.

This startled both Ziyi and Qingyi.

What is this

Yang Lin took the package and was also taken aback.

Before this, he could see that this package might be important. Unexpectedly, after Li Yuyao got it from Zi Yi, she gave it to herself

"This is something of mine, very important to me! Please keep it safe for me," Li Yuyao said.

"No problem."

Yang Lin nodded directly.

Li Yuxiang added, "This is serious, you can't look at what's inside the package!"

"No problem."

Yang Lin shrugged his package indifferently. "It's pretty heavy."

Saying that, he took his package and went out.

Ziyi and Qingyi were dumbfounded.

How could Your Majesty trust Yang Lin so much Even entrusting him with the imperial seal!

Is this Yang Lin really trustworthy If he promised not to look, will he definitely keep his promise

Yang Lin came to the backyard well, lifted the stone slab covering it, pulled a bucket of water from the well, then placed the package in the bucket, put the bucket back into the well, and finally covered it with the stone slab.

Hiding things in a dry well isn't necessarily very secretive, it's just that our home is so cramped there's simply no room.

As for the contents of the package, Yang Lin was naturally curious. But he had promised someone else something, and he could still overcome this curiosity.

Thus, Ziyī and Qingyī also arrived at this home, following the crowd of women and squeezing in together.

At the beginning, the two were still puzzled. Since their family was wealthy and had other houses, why didn't they disperse their family members to different houses Why did they have to squeeze into this small house instead

Gradually, they realized that the reason everyone was still crowding together was for safety!

And for all the girls, they've all been through hardship. Now that they have a rest and are squeezed together, they're already used to living together...

In the study of Zhou Kun's home in Jianghe County, Zhou Kun was startled by a sudden knock at the door.

Since Yang Lin brought people to "deliver gifts," Zhou Kun and his son, Zhou Zhengyang, have been living in fear and anxiety, unable to rest day or night.

Even for two days in a row, Zhou Kun dreamt of the blood-stained head of the black tiger, with its bull-like eyes staring at him and roaring: Give me back my life!

"Master, Zhao Da has arrived."

The old butler's voice rang out from outside the door.

Come in!

Zhou Kun woke up as if from a dream.

For a moment, Zhao Deyi pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Zhou Kun's tired face, he couldn't help but frown.

"Zhao, sir."

Zhou Kun hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists.

Zhao Deyi waved his hand impatiently, frowning and saying, "Lao Zhou, you... how could you be so scared They're just bandits' corpses. They've been dealt with, what's there to worry about"

Zhou Kun plastered on a smile, but inwardly he was seething.

He wanted to say, those dozen or so round little heads weren't thrown into your house! If they were thrown into your yard, you wouldn't be doing so well either!

“Zhao DaRen, what worries me most is still Yang Lin! Right now, we have no choice but to find out how Hei Hu and the others died at the hands of Yang Lin”

"And Yang Lin like this, he's still crazy! He even killed the Black Tiger, so he might not hesitate to attack us!"

"The most important thing is that the word has gotten out. My reputation, Old Zhou's, being tarnished is secondary. But if this business of colluding with bandits gets to the County Magistrate, we are finished!"

Although Zhou Kun was frightened out of his wits, he wasn't foolish at all and knew what was important.

He even suspected that Yang Lin had deliberately made such a fuss, intending to escalate the matter to the point where even the higher-ups would be unable to feign ignorance.

Then, even if he wasn't really colluding with bandits, he would still be pushed out by the high-ranking officials to take the blame, inciting public anger.

"Old Zhou, the reason I'm here is to discuss this matter with you," Zhao Deyi began.

"Oh" Zhou Kun looked at Zhao Deyi in astonishment, "Please enlighten me, Lord Zhao."

Zhao Deyi stroked his beard and said, "The key to this matter still lies with Yang Lin!"

"Yang Lin is no ordinary man! Just an ordinary villager, he dares to cause trouble at the door of your office. And we can't do anything about him! If we don't deal with him in time, what if he grows bigger and rides us around like horses"

Zhao Deyi narrowed his eyes, a fierce light flashing across his face.

Zhou Kun, however, wore a bitter expression: "Zhao Sir, your subordinates understand what you're saying. The problem is, there's nothing we can do about him!"

An ordinary person, he can freely manipulate.

Even the bandits on Black Wind Mountain were dealt with by Ke Yanglin. If you really anger him, then Ke Yanglin will be like someone who has no shoes and is not afraid of wearing them.

This is precisely where Zhou Kun's helplessness lies.

He can use all sorts of methods to pressure Yang Lin, but if he makes another mistake, Yang Lin will definitely do whatever it takes to kill him!

> Who would provoke a madman

"Is there really no other way"

Zhao Deyi sneered: "This official has thought of a foolproof plan, which will surely send Yang Lin to his death without a burial place!"

"Oh" Zhou Kun exclaimed, his eyes widening. "Please tell me more, Lord Zhao!"

Zhao Deyi stroked his beard: "There are less than half a month left before the summer tax is due. We only need to mobilize three shifts of yamen servants in advance and go to Koushan Village. Just find some excuses to oppress their villagers. If Yang Lin can't stand it and clashes with us, we can take advantage of the situation to arrest him and put a hat of rebellion on him! Kill him on the spot!"

"Remember, we are officials! The power is in our hands! If you slap him, will he dare to fight back If he does fight back, it's assault on an imperial official! So don't even think about fighting back, as long as he dares to step forward, at the very least, we should charge him with tax evasion!"e! If you know what's good for you, bring Yang Lin over to me right away, or else…"A flash of ferocity crossed the Wei party's eyes.At this moment, Qin Shuang also narrowed her eyes slightly and said...
